A few more questions
When the gas is compressed prior to the "shot" it must generate a great deal of heat (Boyle's law) how to they handle that and not melt the gun?
Secondly one member mentioned that the barrel has a very low pressure gas or vacuum. That makes sense too or the air in the barrel would slow the BB down a lot.
The 25,000 mile per hour observation made me think that if you fired the BB into the atmosphere at that speed it would burn like a shooting star.
I read where there is a weakened steel disk between the BB and the vacuum, when they want to shoot the BB does it go as fast as when a trigger is pulled or is it slower. Is it faster.
